There are several types of players in the game who play the game for different reasons. I think the gear should reflect those reasons in how they function. I would define these types of gamers as the Raiders, Group Player, Solo Player, Socializer, Defender PVPer, and Attacker PVPer. My idea was to have the gear accessible to these different play styles but the stats would be different to reflect these playstyles. This excludes the socializers since that aspect really is not promoted in Requiem.

For instance you have the Immortality set at level 75 that you get exclusively through Raiding. My idea would be to offer several versions of the set obtainable as battlefield rewards or drops from bosses in instances including soloable instances. The balance would not be from making 1 set suckier, but instead making it have a lower drop rate.

Raider
Group buffs as set rewards, and weighted towards HP

Group
Group buffs, and either defense or attack power increase

Solo
Increased Attack speed and power

Defend
Increased resistances

Attack
Increased Skill Crit and MP

You mean that should be many versions of each set? It could be nice, because some classes dont have sets for them. Probably the worst are Druids, that not only get a set without str or con, but also get gloves with casting time reduction instead to an attack speed ones.

Still believe that a good crafting system would be the best answer to let people choce what they want.

But the less they could do for a start, would be give both, casting time reduction and attack speed reduction to all the gloves.
